The European Left condemns the bloodiest terrorist crime in recent Egyptian history, when terrorists bombed and attacked hundreds of praying Moslems in a Mosque in Bir al-Abd in northern Sinai during the Friday prayer, on 24 November 2017. More than 305 have been killed, among them 27 children, and over a hundred wounded.

The attack seems to have been carried out by 25 – 30 local representatives of Islamic State and is a serious escalation of violence and methods.
